1965 gmc 1000 Stromberg WW on a 305e rebuild question
 
So i got the truck a few months ago. I have cleaned, lined and sealed fuel tank, new sending unit and fuel pump and rebuilt the Stromberg ww. It runs good from idle to hard acceleration but i can not get it to idle right while in drive. It drops 300 rpms when in drive and dies. Also i have to keep my foot on the gas just a smidge while at a stop to keep it running. Would this be a linkage or power valve or vacuum. It does seem to be running rich. I have done some research on Stromberg carbs and those would be my best guess but i am hoping someone could help me out with their knowledge.

Also what plugs should i run in it? I cant get the ac c44ns i have seen recommended.

I would probably look to an air bleed adjustment issue before making any changes that cost money or parts replacements. Obviously diagnosing issues like this over the internet is just a guess, but, from your description, It sounds like the carburetor is not getting enough air at idle, especially if the engine is running rich.

It took a little tunning and the vacuum line at the tranny was not connected.

Any suggestions on plugs?

Looks like NGK 6211, 6511, 7327 are possible on the cross reference chart. Might want to double check though.
